Why this rule exists
Firms typically pay via bank transfer, crypto, or processors like Rise or Deel. Bank wires take longest and add intermediary fees; crypto is fastest but network fees and address errors are on you. Processor KYC must match trading KYC exactly or funds bounce. Payouts go only to the verified trader, never third parties. Confirm the rail before requesting: on $100K profits a $50 wire fee plus FX haircut changes position sizing for the next cycle.
How traders get caught
Payout rules hide behind headline splits. Minimum profit, winning-day counts, consistency caps, safety buffers, and KYC must all clear — fail one and the payout button stays hidden with no explanation.
How to stay safe
Track winning days, best-day %, buffer distance, and KYC status in one checklist before requesting. Keep trading normally while the request queues.
The Formula
How it is calculated
Real Dollar Example
On a $100K account approved for $2,000, a $40 processor fee plus $25 wire fee nets $1,935 in 4 business days. Same $2,000 via crypto rails nets $1,985 in under 24 hours after confirmations. A mismatched payout name bounces the full $2,000 back for re-KYC.
Common Traps & Mistakes
Submitting a wallet address with the wrong network and losing the transfer.
Requesting to a third-party account to dodge taxes — automatic denial.
Ignoring FX conversion on cross-currency wires.
